François Truffaut

  • His film "Les 400 Coups" showcased autobiographical elements.

New Section

The section discusses the director Jean-Luc Godard's approach to filmmaking, his experimentation with storytelling, and his influence on other filmmakers like Quentin Tarantino.

Jean-Luc Godard's Filmmaking Approach

  • Godard was unafraid of experimentation in his films, unlike Chabrol and Truffaut. He believed that every story should have a beginning, a middle, and an end but not necessarily in that order.
  • Quentin Tarantino paid homage to Godard in his work, particularly in "Pulp Fiction," referencing scenes from Godard's films like "Bande à part." Tarantino worked with actors such as Brigitte Bardot and Anna Karina, who was also Godard's wife.

Political Shift and Impact

  • Motivated by the events of May 1968 in France, Godard embraced Maoism and shifted towards politically charged filmmaking. Despite this shift, his films retained their intensity and he famously stated that "cinema is life at 24 frames per second."

Jacques Rivette and Alain Resnais

  • Jacques Rivette shared similarities with Godard in mixing genres and experimenting with filmmaking techniques. His films like "Paris Belongs to Us" showcased improvisation with actors.
  • Alain Resnais differed from his New Wave peers by never collaborating with Cahiers du Cinéma. He started making films at a young age and gained recognition for works like "Hiroshima Mon Amour," which explored the relationship between a French actress and a Japanese man post-WWII.

Influence of Nouvelle Vague

Legacy of Nouvelle Vague
